Can you imagine the outrage, the mind-numbing fear and loathing that the media and other secular organizations would reel with, if George Bush said the same things as George Washington or Abraham Lincoln?

Washington and Lincoln make Bush look like some kind of back-bench casual church-goer who's just there for something to do.

And Washington in his letter to the Hebrew Congregation of Savannah, after he became president, reminded the nation that “the same wonder-working Deity” whose name “is Jehovah” who had rescued the Israelites from Egypt was active in 1776 in “establishing these United States as an independent nation.”

Happy July 4th (a few hours late, yes!) and let us pray that God continues to watch over our country.
